Yep, but we have multiple versions of multiple VMs, etc, etc. Plus we do testing of “serious” scenarios.

The 5 was then moved to our office and is our file server there. Love the cloud sync it means we can access Dropbox files without having to have the drive space on office laptops. The files sit on the nas and just share the folder. Forget the model number off the top of my head but it's the ones you can expand with a second bay doubling the number of bays.

As Windows 10 RTM approaches, I’ve been thinking of replacing my aged home network, based on a nice little HP Proliant Microserver N36L with 8Gb RAM running the defunct Windows Home Server 2011. I’m not sure I need the capability of Windows Server Essentials. Maybe Windows 8 or 10 would do the job? Currently the HP is not even serving media, being used as file storage and not using its RAID capability. But with larger storage at good prices these days (eg, WD Red or Black 3Tb at the best price-point), should I be using storage spaces on a newer OS? I’d like to also use it as a media server, not sure what Windows 8 or Server Essentials would offer.
